Schumacher taught Todt to send an SMS to flirt with Michelle
Some time ago, Jean Todt revealed the curious way in which his relationship with Michelle began. The crush arose during an event in which the former head of Ferrari presented her car, but shortly after he had to take the plunge and flirt with her. To do this, she asked his friend Michael Schumacher for help, who taught her how to send a text message to Yeoh: “I don’t use a computer, I don’t know how to do it. The best are text messages. I wanted to communicate with her, so I spoke to Schumacher. We were together and she told me to send an SMS. I told him I didn’t know how to send it so he taught me”, Jean revealed to Financial Times.
